In the protocol specification for the Furuno GT-87
( from, for example:
https://www.marutsu.co.jp/contents/shop/marutsu/ds/GT-87ProtocolSpecifications.pdf
)
the sawtooth correction figure is given in the CRX message, at the top of
page 30 of that document says the figure given refers to the second before
last (t-1) !
